Do Governments Represent Their People?

[Coito ergo sum]

Um, okay. I forgot. What country are you from that is so perfect?

Gawd infests Canada.

Better than the US, I don't have to help pay back $14 trillion in debt.

Canada - rivals Texas' economy...LOL

[Coito ergo sum]

Oh, yeah, remembered something that should put a wrench in your perception of me only "hating" Americans, Ian. Stephen Harper (the Canadian Prime Minister) is pro-Israel and he is still my Prime Minister. Suck that.

Proud of all that hate, aren't you. Sick fuck.

Yeah, me and my anti-stealing-homes-of-gentiles-because-we-get-weapons-from-Americans-stance.

You have proof of the home stealing, yet?

Is this the "My Dad is bigger than your Dad" argument fallacy?

Or something?

When have I ever said that you only hate Americans?? You hate all sorts of people.

As far as I'm concerned, Israel's government can suck my shwetty arsehole. But while my current President has publicly endorsed the possibility of a Palestinian state (something that represents my views fairly well), your government is arguably more pro-Israeli than mine. Therefore, since Harper and his government are a reflection of who you are, you're pro-Israel. Care to change your avatar back to what it was for a month last summer?

Ian, your President said that he will shut down any possibility of a Palestinian state in the UN. Care to go again?

Can you show me the borders of a Palestinian State, as set forth the Palestinian government? Until we see what borders your boys want, then we can evaluate the proposal.

Let me guess....

I'm tired of the dumb comments by some here saying that governments don't represent them. They are wrong. Your government officially represents you. What your government does reflects on who you are.

No, gummints don't represent the people, I'm pretty sure that the number of Americans who feel properly represented by the Obama administration, or by their reps and senators is a tiny minority.

I sure as heck am not being represented in any way, shape, or form, by my deputee in parliament, and even less by the szarkoszyt and his cronies.

If you really think you have a crapper of a government, you can always live in exile and/or renounce your citizenship.

I could if I could find a place with a better government, preferably English speaking. Unfortunately, I haven't found any.

That's no excuse.

You are still benefiting from public works, roads, water service, sewers, electric service, police, etc..... Maybe you should give that all up and live in the shack in the middle of nowhere if you think your government doesn't represent you.

The Palestinians groups (including Hamas) and the Arab League have insisted for decades on the 1967 borders which every nation on the planet except for Israel and America accept.

It's black right now.

I don't think anybody here is advocating anarchism, Gawd. We all understand what governments do. Your OP, however, insinuated that governments are a reflection of their people. All of them. Personally. And every single person here has explained in a variety of ways how thoroughly unrealistic that is.

Does being a Canadian define who you are above all your other characteristics? If so, that's sad.

With great benefits come great taxes and liability.
